If you suspect your timing belt has broken or the teeth have been stripped off of it, the only way to know for sure is to take off you timing belt cover and have a look. Some vehicles had / have interference heads. These vehicles will destroy their own valves if you try to crank them without a timing belt on.

How do you replace a timing belt on a Acura Integra 1995?

Replacing the timing belt isn't that hard of a job. You will have to jack up your car, and take off the driver side tire. This should expose the three belts. The timing belt should be th inner most belt. To make sure you know which belt is the timing belt, follow it and see where it goes. The belt that goes to your cam shaft(located on top of the engine covered by a black cover.) There should be a wheel that the belt goes onto. When the cams rotate, the rotate the wheel, which rotates the timing belt, which rotates the other two belts, keeping everything in time. The bottom wheel should have a bolt on it in the middle of the wheel. If you loosen that bolt, the wheel will be able to move, thus allowing you to tighten or loosen the belt(once it is on the wheel.) So you will have to take off the other belts, and then loosen the bolt on the lower wheel (the wheel that the timing belt goes around) and then remove and replace the belt. This is all from my memory, but if you just get in there you could easily do this job.
